EASSEMBLY
1. Insert the sleeve spring, gas sleeve and piston — in
that order — on the magazine tube as explained in the
complete Super X2 owner’s manual.
2. To reinstall the barrel, align the barrel with the magazine
tube and inset the gas bracket over the magazine tube and
slide rearward. Align components as explained in the
complete Super X2 owner’s manual. Be careful to position
the cantilever in alignment with the receiver before
the barrel extension reaches the receiver as you slide the
barrel rearward. It may require some careful positioning
the first time to learn how to line up all the components
as they come together.
3. With the barrel fully in the correct position replace the
forearm as shown in the complete Super X2 owner’s
manual, sliding it from the end of the magazine all the way
into position.
4. Insert the forward magazine sleeve onto the magazine
tube, flanged end first. This is the end with the
noticeable flange and a rectangular protrusion coming
from the flange.
5. Position the protrusion downward, in relation to the
barrel, where it contacts the front of the forearm. It will
drop into a matching recess in the front of the forearm
(Figure 3).
6. With the forward magazine sleeve in place, replace
the magazine cap. The barrel and gas system are now
fully reassembled.

All Super X2 Practical shotguns have a cantilever rear sight
rail for mounting optical, red dot or similar type sights.
Follow the instructions provided with any accessory sight to
install the sighting system.
The Practical MK I incorporates a fold-down rear sight
(Figure 4) located on the front of the sight rail. With the
rear sight in the “up” position the sight aligns with the fixed
front sight. When folded down, the lengthwise groove in the
cantilever can be used as a sighting plane, aligning with the
front fiber optic sight for extremely fast sighting situations.
The rear sight is adjusted for elevation using the two small
screws found on the rearward side of the rear sight. Loosen
them slightly and move the sight blade up or down to adjust
the sights. Move the blade up to move point of impact up.
Move the blade down to lower point of impact. Windage
adjustment is accomplished by moving the front (or rear)

ALWAYS PLACE THE SAFETY IN THE “ON SAFE”
POSITION BEFORE BEGINNING ANY WORK
ON YOUR SHOTGUN. CHECK YOUR GUN
CAREFULLY TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE
CHAMBER, FEED MECHANISM AND MAGAZINE
CONTAIN NO SHELLS. ALWAYS KEEP THE
MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. READ
AND HEED THE SAFETY/WARNINGS SECTION IN
THE FIRST PART OF THE COMPLETE SUPER X2
OWNER’S MANUAL.
1.
Make sure your gun is fully unloaded. Keep the muzzle
pointed in a safe direction as explained in the complete
Super X2 owner’s manual.
2. Lock the action rearward.
3. Unscrew the magazine cap.
4. Remove the forward magazine sleeve from the
magazine by sliding it forward, off the tube.
5. Slide the forearm forward, fully over the extended
magazine tube.
6. Remove the barrel by pulling it forward — staying
in alignment with the magazine — until the
magazine bracket passes the end of the magazine.
Set the barrel aside.
7. At this point you can remove the existing piston and
exchange it with the other piston, installing the piston
with the taper of the piston towards the muzzle. Or, to
continue disassembly, remove the gas piston, gas sleeve
and sleeve spring by sliding them forward off of the
magazine tube one at a time as explained in the complete
Super X2 owner’s manual. Your gun’s barrel is fully
disassembled (Figure 2).
8. For disassembly and reassembly of the trigger group and
other internal components follow instructions and
warnings in the complete Super X2 owner’s manual.
